I have watched Bro Brown do a fantastic job as DS. I know of a preacher who left the UPC and Brother Brown as his former Presbyter (before he became Supt) continued to call the man about once a month maintaining friendship with him. I knew the man and he told me so. Bro Brown and I later had a conversation and he told me he kept in touch with the preacher hoping he would eventually come back into the org.
Don't even start to dis my DS!

I know cause when my former pastor went for his ordination last year, he talked with Bro Brown, and explained to him that he had a tv in his home, and that he watched video's of tv shows on it. He asked the DS if this was a problem, and was told by the DS that "NO, and no one will be disciplined in TN over TV." (The reason he asked the DS is because he said he didn't want any surprise questions being asked that he could not answer)
No recanting here. I know too much. If they started enforcing the TV issue as it is written in the manual, then most of the eastern TN preachers would be on the curb. I was there. I saw the dvd's of seasons of CSI and 24 being passed around by the pastors.
